Decision Making

Genentech has a rolling review policy when evaluating funding requests for philanthropic
charitable support. This allows qualified requestors the opportunity to apply anytime during
year.

Requests must be submitted at least 60 days prior to the project/program start date. Decisions
are made on a case-by-case basis; you will usually hear back from Genentech prior to the
project/program start date. Please refrain from submitting applications for which the
project/program start date is more than 6 months out. Early submissions will not ensure an early
decision.

All grants must abide by the terms in the Genentech Letter of Agreement (LOA), which is issued to
an authorized signer of your organization once the application is approved. You must agree to
the terms of the LOA before any funding is issued.

If you have any questions on the agreement terms, please contact us at (877) 313-5778.
